Template:sw-adj form of/documentation

For the definition lines of the inflected forms of adjectives. There are three unnumbered parameters, both required:

• The first one is the prefix that has been added to the adjective (like |wa or |m). Putting |m with default to m class_(I)/m class_(III)/u class_(XI); putting |3 will give m class_(III)/u class_(XI); putting |onlyIII will give only m class_(III). For special cases, it is possible to specify the classes by hand as for example |{{sw-cl|1}}//{{sw-cl|18}}.
• The second one is the lemma form of the adjective (like |refu)
• The third one is for special behaviour. If supplied with |adv for a vi class_(VIII) adjective, it will add text about the word's adverbial function and categorise it as an adverb. If supplied with |only for an M class adjective (either m class_(I) or m class_(III)), it will not supply a line for the u class_(XI) as well, which is default behaviour. If supplied with |sg or |pl, it will pick the class with correct number if given an ambiguous class designation as the first unnamed parameter.
• The fourth one is to be supplied with |no- to suppress the hyphen placed before the link to the lemma form.

There is also an optional named parameter, |dot=, to optionally put a period or other punctuation sign at the end.
